  Hi – I am trying to get my blog posts to appear on a separate blog page that I just created. I’ve looked at instructions for this, and all note being able to integrate posts to a separate page through a Settings–>Reading function, but this does not seem to exist on my dashboard (Only Writing and Discussion are visible). Please let me know if this section is found elsewhere on the dashboard (and I’m just unable to find it…).

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  after looking at your site, it appears the title blog is part of your menu and is a separate page as well.

  you will need to link your posts to this page by using a category.

  it seems the first step of linking the page with the menu title is all set.

  now what you need to do is before publishing a post you have made, on the sidebar, under the category section, you need to create one or link the post to that category you want. seeing as it is titled blog, create a category with that title. then click the checkmark box. any post for your blog that has this boxed now checked, will go to your blog section

  but there is one more step.

  on the sidebar, go back to menu and under blog, click the edit button. you will see a list of options and you want to click on category, then click on blog, then click ok, then click save.

  once this is done you should see all your posts with the linked category now on your blog page.

  it sounds confusing at first but once you have it done and remember to always choose the category, all your post will appear on that page.

  Hi – thanks for this! However, it appears the blogs won’t show up on the page itself, just the menu option “blog.” I tried syncing the page to the menu, and this just gave me the blog page with no blog posts. I’m confused because there used to be a “Reading” option in WordPress to link categories (or posts) to pages, but this does not seem to exist on my dashboard. I’m going to tinker some more, but I’m glad to see I at least have one option, and maybe will just display the hyperlink with an introduction to the blog to the featured page. If you have any other suggestions, though, please let me know.
